Listen "Ep. 42 Why team members leave (and 3 retention strategies to help them stay)"

Episode Synopsis

The cost of replacing a good team member is estimated to cost between 16% and 213% of their annual salary. This means an $80k team member is likely to cost your business between $40k and $150k depending on their role responsibility.
This starts to make sense when you take into account the costs around:

recruitment (ads, assessment costs, recruitment time)
onboarding time
training (in-house and external courses)
lost time on productivity
impact on morale 
impact on other team members who have to pick up the slack
impact on customers/clients 
lost knowledge that leaves with them

Not to mention how heart broken you can feel after pouring time and energy into an awesome new team member, only to see them leave without any warning! One that you imagined staying with you forever! OK, maybe not forever but a few years at least!
So why do people leave?
And why do others stay?
It all comes down to, of course... human psychology!
Tune into this podcast to discover:
